“I made a decision to be myself because I knew I had no choice. Sometimes the label ‘unapologetic’ bothers me because it can be loaded, because it means we have to apologize for something in the first place. I’m not ignorant to the fact that we had to have a demeanor of lowering ourselves culturally just to exist. But I’m trying to shake up the narrative about how we’re supposed to act.” - Lizzo

Oh how we love our Joan!
According to Joan, “Wolf hair. That’s the weirdest thing in my handbag, I met a lady at the airport who rescues wolves. She had wolf hair in a little vial and she gave it to me for good luck, to always keep with me.”
